9. MEASURING

Do not exceed the maximum permitted input values. Do not
touch any circuits or parts of circuits if they may be subject to
voltages higher than 33 V/ACrms or 70 V/DC! Danger to life!
Before measuring, check meter for damage such as, for example,
cuts, cracks or squeezing. Observe that the contact surfaces
of the current probe are clean and close flush. Never use a
damaged meter! Danger to life!
Never reach beyond the noticeable grip area marks at the meter
during measurements.
Measurements in electrical circuits >33 V/AC and >70 V/DC must
only be carried out by specialists and technically instructed
personnel who are familiar with the relevant regulations and the
ensuing risks.
If "OL" (overload) appears on the display, you have exceeded the measu-
ring range.

a) Switching the multimeter on/off

The multimeter can be turned on and off using the middle button (7). A brief push of
a button switches on the multimeter. A signal confirms the input. After activation, the
battery condition is checked and additionally displayed in plain text.
